If I had a million dollars to spare, you'd have a decision to make. This is just beautiful. I can't read to text at the bottom of each page. What does it say?
I do not have it in front of me but I recall it says Vampirella #49 which is the issue this story was published.
An original comic art page from the adaptation of “The Oblong Box” by Edgar Allan Poe, as featured in Vampirella #49 (March 1976). Scripted by Rich Margopoulos and illustrated by Isidro Mones, this piece brings Poe’s chilling maritime tale vividly to life, centering on a mysterious passenger and his ominous cargo aboard an ill-fated voyage.
Executed in ink and ink wash over graphite on Bristol board, the artwork showcases Mones’ masterful use of shadow, tone, and atmosphere—hallmarks of Warren Publishing’s distinctive horror aesthetic of the 1970s. The image area measures approximately 10.5 x 15 inches.
The piece remains in excellent condition, exhibiting only minor, age-appropriate toning.
It certainly was Vampirella #49. It was the last story in the magazine, and I found a full PDF upload of it on archive.org! It is a great piece of work. Congratulations on owning it!
